Reducibility of Cartesian product quantum graph equipped with group action
Abstract
We consider a Cartesian product quantum graph $\Gamma_{n_1}\Box\Gamma_{n_2}$ with standard vertex conditions, and complete the decomposition of Hilbert space $L^2(\Gamma_{n_1}\Box\Gamma_{n_2})$ and the Laplacian $\mathscr{H}$ on it by employing the relevant theories of group representation. The concept of $\Gamma_{n_1}\Box\Gamma_{n_2}$ equipped with the action of the cyclic group $G_{n_1}\times G_{n_2}$ is defined through the introduction of periodic quantum graph and cyclic groups. We also constructed its quotient graph and accomplish the decomposition of its secular determinant. Furthermore, under the condition that $\gcd(n_1,n_2)=1$, it can be regarded as equivalent to a circulant graph $C_{n_1n_2}(n_1,n_2)$. This work also provides a new method for the construction of isospectral graphs.
